Steemit is still an infant,so it will probably change a lot in the near future.This is definitely one of the biggest vulnerabilities of the platform.We break up with Facebook,because of the censorship,just to find out the same exist here in the form of powerful whales.We gave up our Youtube account,because the company either demonetize our videos ( and keep the profit),or takes a huge chunk of it.Then we find out the same exist on Steemit as well,just as this post described.That means the original purpose of this platform is already lost and a lot of people won't see any difference of being here.Great post,thank you for taking your time doing the research!
